Hobo Blues

When I first thought to hobo'in, hobo'in

I took a freight train to be my friend, oh Lord

You know I hobo'd, hobo'd, hobo'd, hobo'd

Hobo'd a long, long way from home, oh Lord

Yes, my mother followed me that mornin', me that mornin'

She followed me down to the yard, oh yeah

She said my son he'd gone, he'd gone, he'd gone

Yes, he's gone in a, poor some wear, oh yeah

Yes, I left my dear old mother, dear old mother

I left my honor, need a crime, oh Lord

Take care of my child

Take care, take care of my child
